Sure, here’s the translated text:

“What did you say?!” Gu Qiaomei could hardly believe her ears. She grabbed his shoulder, on the verge of collapse, “Say it again.”

Chi Jianguo felt a sharp pain in his arm where she grabbed him, the muscles on his cheeks twitching non-stop, his eyes bloodshot. He shook off Gu Qiaomei’s hand and said, enunciating each word, “I said I mortgaged the house, stocks, and car! Now the stocks are at a loss, we’re finished! Do you understand? We’re finished!”

Gu Qiaomei let out a sob and lunged at him, “I’ll fight you to the end!”

Chi Jianguo fiercely grabbed her wrist, roaring, “What’s the point of making a scene! Is fighting with me useful now? What’s important is how we solve the problem! The people from the mortgage company are downstairs, do you really want them all to see me like this?”

“Do you still care about how others see you, Chi Jianguo? The thing I regret most in this life is marrying you!” Gu Qiaomei gritted her teeth!

If from the start, she had not chosen this man, her life wouldn’t be like this.

The house is gone, the stocks are gone, the 8 million her brother gave her is also gone… Gu Qiaomei deeply felt what despair truly means.

She now doubted if all this was retribution!

For the things she did back then, now she is receiving her payback!

Chi Jianguo shook her off, not daring to look into her eyes, “Say whatever you want.”

Gu Qiaomei had nothing more to say to him. A series of blows had left her speechless.

Seeing that she finally began to calm down, Chi Jianguo looked at his own tattered collar, took a deep breath, bypassed Gu Qiaomei, and said, “I’m going to change clothes. You tidy yourself up before coming downstairs!”

…

minutes later.

Chi Jianguo, having changed his clothes, met Gu Qiaomei, who had tidied up her grooming, at the top of the staircase.

Gu Qiaomei had returned to her usual haughty noblewoman image, but the look she gave him was as if she were looking at an enemy, giving him only a sidelong glance before heading downstairs first.

Chi Jianguo felt furious at her attitude but knew it wasn’t the time to get angry. He held back, his face tense, and followed her downstairs.

Downstairs, six burly chaps were sitting on the sofa, looking like the unfriendly type. The servant was bringing over freshly brewed tea.

Seeing them come down, she immediately said, “President Chi, Madam.”

Chi Jianguo looked at her and instructed, “Mrs. Liu, you should go out and buy vegetables first.”

Mrs. Liu also realized something had happened at home today and said no more. “Alright, President Chi.”

With that, she left with her usual vegetable basket.

As soon as she left, a man with sunglasses among the burly chaps sitting on the sofa sneered, “President Chi really made us wait.”

Chi Jianguo caught the sarcasm in his tone. He wanted to find a sofa to sit on, only to find they were all occupied, with no place for him. Moreover, none of those sitting seemed inclined to offer him a seat.

It was the first time he had been treated this way, and keeping a straight face, he spoke, “What do you need?”

The man who spoke first acted as if he’d heard a joke, staring at him, “What do we need? President Chi isn’t aware? We’re here to collect money, of course.”

“President Chi’s stocks are at a loss, right? Our boss is afraid you’ll run away, unable to get his money back, so he sent us to find you, President Chi.”

The muscles on the cheeks of Chi Jianguo twitched violently, “I won’t run! What I owe, I will definitely repay!”
